Power And Thermal Analysis Are Best Done Together
Advanced power-reduction techniques, such as multi-VDD architectures and power-aware clock tree synthesis (CTS), allow designers to implement large, complex SoCs that consume less power. Leakage power can be minimized by using multi-threshold libraries and by shutting off blocks based on the mode of operation. Dynamic power can also be reduced using different blocks operating at varying voltages. Significant power savings can be achieved through power-aware CTS techniques, such as...

Thermal Management Takes Center Stage In IC Design
With the aggressive downscaling of technology nodes and ever-increasing on-chip power consumption, thermal management is becoming a significant design challenge for high-performance microprocessors, integrated network processors, and SoCs...
